Group play can't cast video even s4 also can't do that. All share play is only for laptop and own device only.

There's an app called Airstream
Install Airstream server on your device and the Airstream app on your friends device... And if both of you are on the same wifi network your friend could stream off ur phone or even copy Contents from your phone.

Nope.. It works perfectly .. I use it to stream movies from my galaxy tab to note and vice versa
I have also installed their server app for windows to stream stuff from my laptop
Maybe you are doing something wrong
Install Airstream server app from playstore on phone 1
Airstream app from the playstore on phone 2
Turn on server on phone 1
Stream using the app from phone 2.
Simple as that

There's also an app called share screen which does what you want but it's for pairing tablets to phones. I don't know if it will work on phone to phone.. But give it a try.. Good luck

I have Netflix installed on my phone but it doesn't show a chromecast button. Can it be done from within the app or just from Netflix on a comp?

Both. Do you have the chromecast app installed?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I believe you need the Chromecast app installed on your phone to get the Cast icons to show up in Netflix and other supported apps.
You do NOT need the chromecast app, but your chromecast does have to be setup and powered up. Should say ready to cast on the TV if you switch to that input.
works peachy for me right out of the box. The chromecast app does nothing but allow you to set it the device, find WiFi etc...

I have the chromecast app installed on my phone. Youtube works just fine and netflix works fine from the desktop. I just dont see the icon in netflix from my phone. Unless the chromecast needs to be turned on first?
as soon as I open Netflix from my phone, the little icon to send it to my chromecast appears right away, but mine is turned on all the time .... Have you checked for updates? Otherwise I really dont have an answer aside from try turning it on first then launching Netflix

I could be wrong but how is it supposed to detect the chromecast if it's turned off? I would definitely assume it needs to be on.
Yep that was it. Had to have the input set to the chromecast for the button to show. Didn't know that.

No Chromecast Button On Netflix
I have the most recent version of Netflix installed on my LG Optimus L9 (P769) running JB 4.1.2. I don't have the Chromecast button, but I do have one for YouTube. My older Optimus V is running the same version of Netflix on either GB or ICS and it displays the Chromecast button. The Netflix layout is different between the 2 phones as well.

Both devices are on the same network. Both have the Chromecast app installed and can see the Chromecast device. The newer phone can cast to YouTube and Google Play (not Netflix) and the older device can cast to both YouTube and Netflix.
Netflix Troubleshooting Transcript
Sorry if it's a bit long. Scroll down to the bolded text.
Keith
Thank you for contacting Netflix customer support.
Here is the transcript from your recent chat with customer support:
Netflix Joe
Awesome. Nice to meet you, Keith. How can I help?
You
I cannot get my Android phone to display the Chromecast button
Netflix Joe
Oh no, that definitely doesn't sound liek a fun thing to be dealing with. What kind of phone is it?
You
It is a LG Optimus L9 (P769) running Android Jelly Bean v4.1.2
You
I have the newest Netflix application installed
Netflix Joe
Awesome. Thanks for that info.
Netflix Joe
Just one sec while I dig up some info for us.
Netflix Joe
So Keith, is that chromecast and your phone on the same Network? We've got a troubleshooting article here Click Here for the article but it says the chromecast and the phone have to be on the same wifi network in order to communicate.
You
I also wanted to let you know that I have an older LG phone running an earlier version of Android and it works perfect with Chromecast and Netflix
You
I've read that article already as well
Netflix Joe
OK, cool. Glad to know your older phone is working.
You
The Netflix layout on the two phones is entirely different even though they are both on the same version of the Netflix app.
Netflix Joe
Yeah, the app varies from device to device based on the system specs of the device. It sort of optimizes itself.
Netflix Joe
So the phone and the chromecast are hooked up to the same wifi network?
You
they are on the same network. The phone that doesn't have the Chromecast button for Netflix does have the Chromecast button for both YouTube and Google Play Music
Netflix Joe
Good to know. Just a sec while I reach out to our research team about this.
I got them on the line now.
Netflix Joe
OK, they're asking to uninstall and reinstall the netflix app on the phone that isn't working.
You
about to do that now
Netflix Joe
Great, thanks.
Netflix Joe
Also are you able to download the chromecast app on that phone?
You
app is uninstalled, data and cache is cleared..about to reinstall...chromecast app is installed and operational on the phone
Netflix Joe
Awesome
You
app is reinstalled
Netflix Joe
Sweet, go ahead and try it again.
You
no chromecast button
Netflix Joe
OK, go ahead and go in the netflix app and scroll down to the bottom and get the version please.
You
chromecast app sees the chromecast device
You
2.4.0-216~40 [US/en-US]
Netflix Joe
OK, thanks.
Netflix Joe
And just to make sure, you are checking both the upper and lower right side of the screen for the cast button right? Kind of a silly question I know but just want to cover bases.
You
Yes, I have checked all corners
Netflix Joe
Cool, so they told me that they've seen this issue with a few LG phones and it's something with the phone not being read right by our system so they're looking into it right now to get it fixed and it should be working with your phone in the near future, they just added it to our tracker but the good news is one of your phone still works with the Chromecast right now and soon both will.
You
ok, thanks for letting me know that
Netflix Joe
Sure, no problem. Thanks for reporting the issue with us. Anytime there's a new device like this that comes out it takes a bit to work out the kinks and people like you really help speed that process along.
You
I understand. The device was only made available for sale on Wednesday, and I'm sure that you haven't been able to test every model of phone combined with every version of the OS
Netflix Joe
Yeah, for sure. Well can I help with anything else today Keith? It'd be a pleasure!

Hi you guys..I was having the same problem with a Droid Bionic, and I just wanted to let you guys know, I have a workaround/fix so you can get Chromecast working with the Netflix app working NOW instead of waiting for Netlifx to deal with it.

Let me know if it works out! Cheers.
Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I purchased a couple of Chromecast devices but live in a country where Netflix isn't currently available. I have the 3 months free Netflix codes if anyone wants them?

I installed the latest play services update so I could get Allcast working on chromecast. After installing it I got double cast icons when trying to use google music as shown in the attached pictures and they dont work reliably anymore. Anybody else experiencing the same issues and have a fix? I also installed a roku recently and not sure if that may also have something to do with the chromecast not behaving properly.

I assume you've rebooted since installing the Play Services update?
Roku shouldn't affect Chromecast.
Try rebooting your router in case it's some UPnP caching thing.
Odd since my device has the opposite affect....
I only have one CCast listing for each (I have two in use), But I have two entries for each XBMC on my Network.
I just figured it may be due to DLNA and UPnP both being supported by XBMC ad Allcast seeing each as a different target.

Thanks for the tips. Rebooted my router and it didnt change. I tried to cast using my windows laptop and each chromecast was only displayed 1 time and worked just fine so my issue is android specific. I am using a stock nexus 5. I also tried clearing cache and data on the chromecast android app and that did not work.

I saw that an AllCast update went out today so maybe it was a known bug that got fixed in the update...
Check the play Store to see if there is an Update available.

Force stop AllCast.
Flush apps Data and Cache.
Eventually if your phone is rooted, flush dalvik cache.
Reboot phone, it should work after reboot.
It's possible that you use illegitimate copy of a program, in such a case users with illegitimate copies usually uninstall and install app again.

Deleted allcast and the roku symbol on google music is gone which is good because when i tried to click roku on the cast pulldown menu in the google music app it would not do anything. But after restarting the phone the double chromecast icons are still there. I cant revert to the old version of the google play services which I feel may be the culprit for google music to be acting strange.

Chrome app "Videostream for Google Chromecast™" (rebranded "Chromecast Video")
Chromecast Video v1.0.1 is gone from the Chrome Web Store. It has been replaced by Videostream for Google Chromecast™ 1.0.4:

or

I guess the only difference is apps name.

The old name violated Google's Terms of Service I would imagine as well.
It very much violated many Google's branding guidelines haha.
Edit:
The latest update basically just updated the icons, etc... and added some share buttons.
Is there any way to control Videostream from a remote device? I've dabbled with RemoteCast but it didn't seem to pick up on the Videostream content.
Great app! Keep up the good work!
Anyway to add time stamps along with forward/rewind 30 seconds etc

App Needs Launch Button
Great aoo Works flawlessly but have to go to Web Store to launch. No launch button in chrome toolbar,
I really like the app Videostream for Chromecast. However, there is not a button on the toolbar that allows me to launch it from chrome directly. I have to go to the Play Store and launch from there. Anyone else have this problem? I have not been able to find any references about this problem on any forums.
It's an app not and extension. I find the open apps button on the bookmark bar, and it's there.
More info HERE or you can add a button HERE
I see we have an end time on the timeline now!
Oh-- it should be in your Start menu / Spotlight.
Does anyone else have a problem casting from the fire tablet? I've installed all necessary Google services and the playstore. They've updated automatically. I can cast using YouTube and Showtime Anytime with no problems since I am able to see my Chromecast devices when connecting. For some reason I cannot see my Chromecast devices when trying to cast from Netflix or HBO Go. I've reinstalled these apps but still not working. The Chromecast app is able to see the devices and connect to them with no problems.
